Eurasian Marsh Harrier - male

Finally got my chance to get a decent image of this species.The Eurasian marsh harriers like all the other harriers are winter visitors to Bangalore and are amongst the first to arrive. The males are usually a lot more skittish in comparison to the females. The image below is that of the male. Females are darker, almost chocolaty brown in colour with a lighter colored head.

About Me

Since I can remember I have been interested in nature and especially fauna! Wildlife photography provides me with a unique opportunity to capture special moments in time, portraying the uniqueness of even the most common birds and animals around us. Wildlife photography in my opinion is a way of educating & creating awareness about different species that city folk would otherwise not have come across.
